1970 rear end id

I have a 1970 CJ5 w/V6. Trying to find out what rear end it has. The numbers on the tag are 994175

 

If it is still stock, then it will have a Dana 44 rear end. If it is an early '70 model then it will have 19 spline, two piece axle shafts. If it is a mid to late '70 model, then it should have 30 spline flanged axle shafts.

 

There should be more numbers on the tags to help you identify the gear ratio. There are on my '67 CJ6 axles.

Here is my write-up on axle ID:

Actually, except for leftovers, the Flanged D44 began showing up in early 1970 model year. At first ~'70-'72 it had a passenger side drop and from '72-'75 it was centered. After '75 it was the centered AMC 20.:v6:

 

It has other numbers,ratio and teeth. Just didn't know if it was a Dana 44.
Date on jeep is August 1970

 

If there is a nut at the center of each rear wheel, it's a splined two-piece axle. If not, it's flanged. The flanged axle is more desirable. It's a Dana 44, regardless.

The ratio should also be on the tag, 3.73 or 4.88.

 

OK, thanks for the replies.
